I’m Will Carter, a Los Angeles–based product designer, programmer, and musician who blends playful interaction design with pragmatic engineering. I’m currently leading product and design for the iOS/Android app Burner, prototyping features in Swift and Kotlin and driving experiments from research to release. Previously I built or co-created WTF Tuner, Mobzombies, WTF North, Dumb Baseball, Firewall, and earlier versions of Burner, and when I’m not shipping apps I record modular synth pieces and play guitar in a small art-rock trio.
